i talked to a man today who I am involved with in business and so I have to get along with him. He asked me what I thought of "what is going on the middle east." I usually refuse to say anything when he make such probing attempts, but for some reason, instead of asking "What do YOU think?" and then listening to him without commenting, I said, "I hear everything is going great. The arab spring in the middle east has gotten rid of bad people like Mubarak and Khaddafi and replaced them with democracy. . . If I'm not mistaken, I heard that from one of the women on the View. Or maybe it was Nancy Pelosi. Or Hillary Clinton." He said he meant Israel and Gaza. "I said, "Everyone knows it's Israel's fault. Israel is the Bogeyman there." He said with emphasis, "Well, Israel certainly has to do something different from what it is doing." I asked him if the muslims shooting rockets into Israel should do anything different. He explained that it is all Israel's fault and that it is incumbent on Israel to "do something different than what they are doing." "What would that be?" I asked. "I don't know," he said. "But what they need to do is talk." "Who would they talk to?" I asked. "The muslims shooting rockets into Israel?" "They are the people of Gaza," he said. "muslims have nothing to do with this. "Israel should talk to them. Israel has to do something different." I said "Well, I see we agree. It's Israel's fault." That is the word, straight from the leftwing mouth.

People, Newsweek, Time, The Nation, The Economist, Harper's, Vanity Fair, People--part of ABC TV corporation. Delves into deep subjects, like the TV actress who is doing just great and "has a new shrink husband!" Newsweek--a creation of the leftwing Washington Post. Was sold for one dollar a couple years ago--That didn't work out, and it is now ceasing its paper/newstand publication. Time--a part of ABC TV corporation The Nation---Long, long, LONGTIME left wing, communist/socialist rag. The Economist--British Hate Israel and promote the muslim agenda 'financial' publication Harper's--as left wing as you can get. Vanity Fair--?

30 yr old woman gives finger to Arlington Cemetery-posts photo on facebook Facebook Lindsey Stone Father ‘appalled’ by disrespectful Facebook pic By Jessica Heslam \| Wednesday, November 21, 2012 \| http://www.bostonherald.com The mortified father of a Plymouth woman under cyber assault for posting a photo of herself flipping the bird at sacred Arlington National Cemetery said his only daughter apologizes to anyone she’s offended — especially soldiers. The controversial Facebook photo shows Lindsey Stone with her mouth wide open and giving the finger near what appears to be the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier and a sign that reads: “Silence and Respect.” “She’s totally apologetic. She apologizes to anybody she’s offended,” her father, Peter Stone, told me last night. “She was reacting, I guess, to the sign instead of the place and didn’t intend it to be what it turned out to be. “She had a lack of judgment,” added her father, who learned of the controversy yesterday. “I think they were just being funny, which is sad. It’s not how she or the family feels by any means.” The photo wound up in the blogosphere and has sparked a “Fire Lindsey Stone” Facebook page that had fetched more than 9,000 likes as of last night. Stone and Jamie Schuh, the woman who snapped the photo, have been put on unpaid leave from their jobs at the Hyannis-based LIFE Inc. — a nonprofit that helps adults with special needs — while it investigates the incident. In a statement on its Facebook page, the organization said the photo was taken last month when 40 residents and eight staff members visited Washington, D.C. The nonprofit said it learned of the photo, posted on Lindsey Stone’s personal Facebook page, Monday night. Lindsey Stone, a 30-year-old single woman who lives with her parents, wasn’t home last night. Peter Stone said his daughter feels “terrible” about jeopardizing her job. “She really enjoyed what she was doing,” said Stone, 61, a retired ironworker. “All her clients at work love her. To have her put something like this on her page, I just can’t believe it. “The way I see her, and the way I’ve witnessed her for 30 years, is not at all what that photo shows,” he added. Stone said he was “appalled” when he first saw the photo. “I certainly don’t condone anything like that,” he said. When asked whether his daughter regrets the photo, Peter Stone said “very much so.” Lindsey Stone and Schuh issued an apology last night. “We never meant any disrespect to any of the people nationwide who have served this country and defended our freedom so valiantly. It was meant merely as a visual pun, intending to depict the exact opposite of what the sign said, and had absolutely nothing to do with the location it was taken or the people represented there,” the statement said. Her dad said yesterday he didn’t think it was “meant to be a statement, that’s for sure.” He added: “She’s just devastated. She’s all upset ... but there are ramifications to every action.” Article URL: bostonherald.com
